I was running LVR, and in my bolt gun.
I measure my reloads to CBTO, these secant style bullets are long and narrow. If you look closely at the olgive on the bullet they are all pretty much in line with each other. That allows me to load to CBTO and stay off the lands. but the narrow area above the olgive protrudes into the barrel deeper but does not touch the rifeling. I was very hesitant at first but blueprinted the chamber very carefully with these. Hornady say's you can only go to 110 grain. But their bullets are fatter above the olgive. Nosler and Berger are narrow.
I was part of the deal with the 105's that were loaded to long and actually worked with Tim an engineer at Hornady with this issue. The barrel I had was an Odin Works and was one of the first ones they built. Hornady sent Odin the wrong reamer, it was not a production reamer used to make a lot of barrels with. It was a precision reamer a custom Gunsmith would use in their shop. I did not know their was a difference. Odin wanted me to send it back so they could recut the chamber, I opted to keep it and try it out. It shoots .5 MOA all day long, and thats pretty good for a gas gun.

If you can not see the tyranny of having a gun ban enforced by men with guns... Then you fail to understand why the second amendment was written in the first place.
